GEORGE WASHINGTON CROSSING THE DELAWARE by Emmanuel Leutze (1816-1868) Poster Print - New York Grap

Bring your wall alive with your very own copy of an American classic! This spectacular poster features the 1851 oil-on-canvas painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware" by German-American artist Emanuel Gottlieb Leutze, which has been on display at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art since its 1897 donation by John Stewart Kennedy.

From the icy waters, to the weary but determined soldiers, to the original star-spangled banner, and many more details, it's easy to see why this brilliant work of art has stood as an American icon for more than a century and a half! Complete with sharp white border that includes the painting's title, date, artist and details, this is print is a must for the wall of home, office, museum or classroom!
